Vår Energi will publish its financial report for the second quarter and first half 2024 on Tuesday 23 July. Today, the Company provides an update on production, sales volumes and other relevant items.

The average production of 293 kboepd in the first half of 2024 is in the upper end of the guided range for the period and the Company is on track to meet the full year production guidance of 280 to 300 kboepd.

Net production of oil, liquids and natural gas averaged 287 kboepd for the second quarter of 2024, a decrease of 4% from previous quarter due to planned maintenance activities. Compared to the second quarter of 2023, production increased by 42% due to inclusion of production from the Neptune Energy Norge assets and start-up of new projects.

The production split in the second quarter was 64% oil and NGLs (liquids) and 36% gas. Total volumes produced were 26 mmboe whereas volumes sold in the quarter amounted to 25 mmboe. Vår Energi obtained a strong average realised price (volume-weighted) of USD 77 per boe in the quarter. The realised crude price was USD 85 per barrel. The realised gas price of USD 70 per boe is a result of fixed price contracts and flexible gas sales agreements, allowing for optimisation of indices. The fixed price contracts represented approximately 20% of second quarter gas volumes sold at an average price of USD 127 per boe, substantially above spot market reference price.
